An Unruly Guides First Steps Tutorial

If you are a Self-publishing Author on a budget, then this book is for you. Books today need to be eye-catching. Even if your writing is award
winning, a poorly designed cover will fail to pull in needed readers.

This is NOT a graphic design book, nor does it delve deeply into what makes a good cover design. It is a BEGINNER GUIDE for the non-designer, showing how to get from a blank page to a cover.
